Chapter Summary

This extensively revised version of the inventory list of the texts from the Judaean Desert updates the earlier version that was published in 2002, which itself was an update of four earlier versions. The updating contained in this revision pertains to the following areas: 1. Corrected data in all columns, based on information gathered with the aid of several colleagues. 2. Addition of inscribed archaeological evidence such as stones, pottery, ostraca, and weights culled from the inventory list of A. Lemaire. 3. Overlaps in content between fragments as provided by E. J. C. Tigchelaar that update his published 'Annotated Lists of Overlaps and Parallels in the Non-biblical Texts from Qumran and Masada'. 4. New names and identifications for previously published fragments. In all cases, the earlier identification is mentioned in parenthesis. 5. New arrangements of the sequence of fragments.
